Georgia On My Mind by Hoagie Carmichael is amongst the most wonderful of songs that I know. I’ve been working on this song recently using the sheet music – actually-almost-reading the music that Hoagie Carmichael wrote. I had always played it by ear from the Ray Charles record. I had it wrong in several places.
So I’ve been working at learning it anew – in a different key (F). Here’s how it’s going so far. Sorry I made a few mistakes, and sorry ’bout that, but I’m a bit too lazy to record it again so here you go…….Note: As may already be clear, Bumba here needs a singer to do these songs correctly. So let this be a sort of want ad: Wanted: Singer to do all these songs properly.
Let this also be an invitation to send in your own versions of this song via the comments section. Naturally, after the Ray Charles version, it’s almost ridiculous to try to do a cover of this song. But it’s a wonderful song to play and sing, and I think Hoagie Carmichael wrote his songs to be played and enjoyed. So try it.
awesome…
Love & Light
Glad you liked it.
I like your way of singing the songs, Stephen, so I hope you will keep singing.
Ciao, Francina
That’s very kind of you. I know my voice isn’t a good one, but I do like these songs and, well, someone has to sing them.
you play piano, harp, guitar etc. – Stephen, I’m jealous!
One day I maybe dare to sing this song too 🙂

Nice! I do love that song. It’s a beautiful song. Sorry I can’t fulfill the role and sing it properly. Hearing me sing wouldn’t be pretty.
Thanks, but I do figure that people will hear me sing and then be encouraged to try singing themselves!
I’m good at singing along! I think I’ll stick to that.
Well that’s good too Bumble.
